Schatzalp
A hillside hotel and former sanatorium reached by a small funicular train. It inspired “The Magic Mountain.” It has a toboggan run in winter and an alpine botanical garden in summer.
Take the century-old cable-hauled mini train from Davos Platz for about 4 minutes to Schatzalp at 1,861 meters. The Art Nouveau Berghotel Schatzalp was once a tuberculosis sanatorium. In winter, you can rent a sled and ride down a run of about 3 km. In summer, the Alpineum botanical garden displays about 3,500 species of alpine plants (open roughly May–October). The terrace offers a panoramic view over all of Davos.
